Serena is simply relying on first serve and strokes.The only times I see her running its cause Elene MAKES her run.hope she'll give a little more fight in the 2nd.

Serena just needs to tank this set. Save energy for Austrailia. Elena D will be DEAD by the 2nd week in Austrailia if she makes it. I can promise you that.

Well I'd prefer watch a fight than a tank personnally.Maybe it would be better for her but not for me lol
Anyway, it seems she wants to fight but Elena is not letting her get back into the match so the match could be finfished in no time.

Lena is playing herself to death and will suffer at the AO. If she faces Serena at the AO, Serena will beat her in straight sets. ;)

No, she doesn't want to fight. :rolleyes: It's obvious she doesn't want to put too much energy into this match, or tournament, considering she might have to play the day AFTER this tournament is over considering on what side of the draw she is on. She needs to tank it.

It's what I thought before the match but now that i see her, she doesn't seems tired at all and looks REALLY fit.
And I think she wants to win here and climb in the rankings.

If she didn't care, she would have withdrawn after her first round match or even after yesterday's match.She's trying but she just has not the legs and Elena is playing her match quite well.

I don't care how fit she is. It is going to be scorching in Melbourne and that is draining no matter how fit you are. Elena D might potentially have to play a match the day after the final. I assure you, however, that if Serena faces Elena D at the AO, it WILL be a different story. Mark my words. :)

Probably, but still it's a good win for Elena here.She was very happy at the end.

Well its clear Serena is probably slightly tired, her match did end late last night, but she is probably tanking as well. I mean she knows next week is more important and why should she waste all her energy here in Sydney? She got to the SF's and that is probably good enough, now she'll have 3 days to rest before possibly playing on Monday. Federer has tanked matches in tournaments before Grand Slams as well, its nothing new, its smart, focus on the big tournament, not the little one.
